Some personal news:
I’m moving to @financialpost, where I’ll be the new investing reporter. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work on some great things on NP web/news since I started there more than three years ago but couldn’t be more excited to try something new.

Some personal news: Today is my last day at @Sportsnet.
I lucked into a dream gig 7 years ago, writing for our magazine. It's been a thrilling ride since. Grateful to have learned from the incredible writers and editors on our team. Sad to go. But looking forward to what's next.— Dan Robson (@RobsonDan) October 5, 2018
